Due to their seemingly ubiquitous nature and links environmental human health problems, microplastics are quickly becoming a major concern worldwide. Artificial environments, such as those found in urban represent some of the main sources microplastic. However, very few studies have focused on occurrence soils. The aim current research was evaluate microplastic contamination soils from artificial natural land uses throughout Coimbra city, Portugal. Sixty-seven spaces ten use areas were evaluated. dumps, landfills, parking lots, industries construction areas, forests, parks, moors (wetlands), pastures agricultural areas. Microplastic extraction done by density separation. Quantification size measurements carried out using microscope. Polymer types identified μ-FTIR for 25% samples. content ranged 5 × 103 571 particles·kg−1, with mean 106 particle·kg−1. green park highest concentration (158 particle·kg−1) forest one lowest (55 particle·kg−1). landfill (150 particle·kg−1), industry (127 dump (126 levels microplastics. polymers detected polypropylene polyethylene, followed polyvinyl chloride rubber, sizes measured between 50 250 μm. Our results indicate that can contain higher amounts compared environment. This suggests easily transported through landscape retain Land planning may present an opportunity better control environments.

The pollution of microplastics (MPs) has received widespread attention with the increasing usage plastics in recent years. MPs could enter human body and exist circulatory system. Endometrium, rich blood vessels, acts as an essential role health female fertility. However, there is no study reporting exposure endometrium. We collected endometrium samples to detect presence qualitatively quantitatively via laser direct infrared. found that was a total 13 types existing samples, among which 6 special were both high abundance detection rate. these ranged from 0 117 particles/100 mg, median 21 mg. Most detected MPs, accounting for 88.35 %, small size (20-100 μm). Among small-size ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer ranked first while polyethylene accounted largest proportion large-size (100-500 Correlation analysis indicated significant relationship between age MP or BMI abundance. also designed questionnaire investigate lifestyle daily habits, aiming at revealing potential living habits. discovered some drinking habits chewing gum significantly correlated higher level exposure. For time, we identified clarified connections lifestyle. Further studies are still necessary explore more underlying information.
